Last week’s post was all about the trendsetting Pinkett-Smith family and their son JadenChristopher Syre, named after mom Jada. This week the spotlight turns to daughter WillowCamilleReign, after dad Will. While plenty of parents chose appellations that honor loved ones, crossing gender lines opens up some inventive options for girls’ names.

At first glance, this is easy for girls’ names. There are plenty of traditional equivalents, like Charles/Charlotteor Alexander/Alexandra. But what if you’re trying to name a daughter after your brother Chad? Or you adore your uncle Patrick, but you can’t imagine calling your little one Patricia?

Parents have grafted together some unusual choices over the years. There are just add –ette or –elle names, like Danette and Donelle; ends-in-ie choices, like Artie and Bennie; and double names, from BobbieSue to Rayanne. Some may be carefully chosen, but Markie or Hughette can sound like afterthoughts, hastily cobbled together when the parents heard the words, “It’s a girl!”

Sometimes parents just pass on the masculine moniker, but there is a world of options for naming a daughter Pinkett-Smith style. It’s not just Will and Jade, either. Emeril Lagasse called his daughter Meril.

Just like last week’s post, these are options based on the most popular names of the 1970s and 80s. Add your additions and suggestions in the comments!

Overlook the rhymes-with-Aiden qualities of JadenSmith’s name for a minute, and there’s something else notable about this young actor’s appellation. While girls have been named after their fathers since ancient days, Jaden is one of relatively few boys to be named after his mother.

They’re not the only famous parents looking to their family trees as a starting point for choosing a child’s name. Orlando Bloom and MirandaKerr chose Flynn to honor his grandmother, Evelyn.

Plenty of names have obvious equivalents, like Charles and Charlotteor RayandRae. Others don’t lend themselves to an obvious opposite-gendered name. What’s the masculine form of Bridget?

You may need to be creative to name a daughter after your favorite uncle, but that can create an opportunity, too. Grandpa Donald might fume if you reject Donald in favor of the more stylish Donovanfor your son. But honor grandma Donna or aunt Dawn with a little Donovan, and chances are she’ll be thrilled.

Based on the most popular names of the 1970s and 80s, here are some thoughts about how you might name a son, Pinkett-Smith style. The girls’ list is up next week. Add your additions and suggestions in the comments!
